2024 1/20 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin (BU)

BOLD is pleased to offer this 2024 1/20 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin. The Royal Canadian Mint took their time to uncover a new design for King Charles III. Consequently, the 2023 Maple Leaf coins were the last to feature Her Late Majesty, while the 2024 Maple Leaf coins will now feature the brand-new portrait of the King.

Compared to full-ounce coins, fractional gold maple leaves have the same iconic design but a lower price point. The 2024 Gold Maple Leaf coins have a unique light-diffracting pattern that makes them more difficult to counterfeit and adds an extra layer of security for investors and collectors. The smallest fractional ounce coin in the series is the 1/20 oz Gold Maple Leaf.

The 2024 Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin's obverse features a brand-new bust of King Charles III in left-profile relief, which starkly contrasts the right-profile relief of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. This custom of monarchs having opposing portrait orientations also honors King George VI's reign.

The remarkable illustration of the sugar maple leaf by Walter Ott can be found on the back of the 2024 1/20 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins. An essential part of Canadian history, the sugar maple leaf is proudly featured on the flag and other important national symbols.

History

The Royal Canadian Mint has been using designs made by Canadian artists since 1990 instead of using portraits of Elizabeth II from the Royal Mint. This tradition has been maintained with the introduction of the first-ever bust of King Charles III, which is featured on the 2024 Maple Leafs in the gold, silver, and platinum collections.

These cherished gold coins' well-known beauty and exceptional purity are even more alluring in accessible fractional sizes like ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. This 2024 1/20 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin (BU) is available for purchase now.
